High-Priest.
'Tis done—the sacred Knot is ty'd,
Which Death alone can e'er divide.
CHORUS.
Immortal Pleasures crown the Pair,
Who thus by Heav'n high-favour'd are,
Joys ever round them wait;
May these below, like those above,
Contend who most and longest love,
And be as Blest, as Great.

Glorious and happy is thy Lot, O Zaphnath,
Join'd to such Sweetness, Dignity, and Virtue.

Since the Race of Time begun,
Since the Birth-Day of the Sun,
Ne'er was so much Wisdom found,
With such matchless Wisdom crown'd.
Since the Birth-Day of the Sun,
Ne'er was so much Wisdom found,
With such matchless Wisdom crown'd.
CHORUS.
Swift our Numbers, swiftly roll,
Waft the News from Pole to Pole;
Asenath with Zaphnath's join'd,
Joy and Peace to all Mankind!
